Chapter 52 Crazy Wednesday (Part 1)
…
Ten minutes later, Guo Guo burst into tears and said, "I'm sorry, I was wrong."
This time, all four of them were wiped out on the lottery wheel, and even the European Emperor Zheng Wanqing suffered a miserable defeat.
They didn't get any points, but there was a lot of mineral water and biscuits, and two cans of precious salted fish in the dormitory.
Zhang You sorted all the supplies together and comforted her, "It's okay. Being unlucky is a common occurrence in life. Just let it go."
Relying purely on luck to turn things around is obviously unrealistic. They are more suitable to be down-to-earth.
Even so, after seeing the new hope , Zheng Wanqing was very excited. She even ate a few more cookies at night, as if she was ready to enter the new dungeon and work hard to make money.
Tang Xin Jue dispelled her idea:
"Zhang You and I discussed it and thought that maybe we could take a day off tomorrow to rest and adjust our condition. What do you think?"
There were three consecutive exams. Although only two days passed in the game, in fact it was a total of 9 different copies.
They have very little time to breathe. Whether it is studying skills or reviewing exams, they can only rush through it due to the tight time constraints.
Zhang You nodded: "...I haven't found the time to count our specific supplies and personal information. Also, although our physical fitness has greatly improved, we don't have the corresponding training, which makes it impossible for us to play to our physical advantages in the dungeon."
The props and skills sold in the mall include not only supernatural powers, but also various physical attribute enhancements, and even martial arts and qigong, etc. It can be seen that future exams will not be limited to supernatural copies, and they need to make more comprehensive preparations.
After some discussion, the four reached a consensus.
Zhang You took out a calendar and hung it at the door, and solemnly drew a circle around tomorrow's date.
Wednesday: Rest day.
…
As it was getting late at night, before going to bed, the few of them took stock of their current asset status.
Tang Xin Jue still had the most assets. After replenishing some medicines and protective amulets, she still had 45 points and nearly thirty achievements that could be exchanged.
Tang Xin Jue did not use these assets. She had her own plans. "I want to accumulate enough points to exchange for a spiritual skill."
In the student mall, there are only a handful of spiritual skills and props, and each one is very expensive, starting at three-digit points.
But Tang Xinjue had a hunch: this direction was the most suitable for her.
In addition, she now has an awakened ability [Toilet Soldier], a self-created skill [Mind Control], and purchased auxiliary skills [Identification] and consumable skills [Ice Cone].
Although it seems like a lot, strictly speaking, except for the toilet plunger, the remaining capabilities have not yet been carefully studied and brought into play to their greatest extent.
The roommate's situation was very similar. Guo Guo wanted to strengthen his Yin-Yang Eyes, but was worried that he had no self-defense ability. He could only follow Zhang You to buy a protective amulet. They each saved up 10 points for backup.
"Alas, money always seems plentiful, but it is spent quickly, and before you know it you have nothing left."
Guo Guo collapsed on the bed, looking up at the sky and crying.
Among the four people, Zheng Wanqing had the clearest goal. She was so focused on strengthening her fist that she only bought a medical kit worth 10 points after selling her achievements. She also borrowed 10 points from Tang Xinjue and spent all her money to buy a "fist as big as a sandbag".
After the fusion of skills, [Fist as Big as an Iron Pot] was upgraded to Level 2, and the shadow attached to the arm was extended to 30 minutes. Although it was still limited, it already made Zheng Wanqing very satisfied.
After the first wave of purchases was completed, everyone tidied up a bit and found that the four of them had 65 points left in total, which was enough to deal with emergencies.
Tang Xinjue suddenly proposed an idea: "Actually, I also want to buy some enhancements for the dormitory."
The various props in the mall can be used not only on individuals but also in dormitories.
For example, the dormitory door alone has four or five different reinforcement modes, and the highest one can even be strengthened to the armor level.
The same goes for balcony windows, ceilings and floors.
In the category of daily necessities, there are even air conditioners that generate electricity automatically, refrigerators that cook automatically, and even space expansion... but the prices are so high that it makes people want to jump off the building. With the current financial strength of the four people, they can only dream about it after reading the introduction.
Although you can't buy expensive items, you can get some basic tools.
Tang Xin Jue passed out the names of the items he liked to everyone, "I think these things are very suitable for decorating our dormitory."
Everyone looked: [second-hand rake] [a sledgehammer] [a feather duster with barbed hooks] [a wooden mace]...
“…”
Guo Guo's voice came faintly from under the quilt: "If we buy them all in the future, I think we can hang a couplet at the door."
The first line: Gather all the heroes in the world. The second line: Loyalty will last for thousands of years and blood will be shed.
Horizontal banner: Heroes of Liangshan!
The next day, the shrill wake-up bell in the early morning woke everyone up from their deep sleep.
"Luckily I don't have to take an exam today... Hmm? Why is it only 6 o'clock?"
Guo Guo got up from the bed with a mess of chicken feathers on his head, looked at the time in confusion, and his eyes were horrified:
"Fuck! Is our exam time going to be moved forward two hours to 6 o'clock?"
Even the devil’s senior year wouldn’t be so inhumane!
Tang Xinjue had already gotten up from the bed and walked to the balcony window .
The wake-up bell still came in from the misty white fog outside the balcony, but if you listen carefully, you can hear that it is slightly different from the previous two wake-up bells.
If I had to describe it, I would only say that today’s ringtone is…more festive?
"Ding ding dong, ding dong ding, ding ding dong ding dong—"
About half a minute later, the ringing stopped, and the voice that followed was not the familiar child's voice, but the voice of an old man with an exaggerated tone:
"The sun rises every day, except on Wednesday ~ Congratulations, students!"
“Are you still worried about being short of money?”
“Are you still sad about the high cost of shopping malls?”
“Want to receive a gift that falls from the sky? Want to get the product you’ve always dreamed of?”
“Crazy Wednesday, big sale time!”
The voice fell, and everything returned to silence. Only the few people who had just gotten out of bed looked at each other silently.
Tang Xin Jue pursed his lips: Crazy Wednesday? Big sale?
It sounds like the student mall is causing trouble.
When I opened my phone, a new message popped up in the mall:
[In order to encourage all students to study hard, this mall will hold a "Crazy Wednesday Promotion" on Wednesday morning, two hours before the exam begins!]
[The event is divided into the following two parts: 1. Gifts from heaven 2. Discounts delivered to your door]
[Please wait carefully and participate enthusiastically!]
Then they discovered that there was an "activity progress" bar in the upper left corner of the mall, half of it lit and half dark.
The part that lights up is the "Gifts Falling from the Sky" segment.
Guo Guo rubbed his eyes and said, "Am I seeing this right? Are you going to give us something?"
The game is so kind?!
After a brief shock, their emotions quickly turned to suspicion: Could it be that the game was setting a trap for them again?
Tang Xinjue put away his phone and looked outside, his voice full of mixed emotions: "We'll know soon whether it's a good thing or not."
Following her gaze, the three of them opened their eyes wide.
In the field of vision, the fog outside the window was gradually dissipating!
In a few moments, the white fog had retreated to the outside of the balcony railing, but that was it. The outside world was still completely shrouded, leaving only a balcony-sized space.
They tried to push it, and the balcony window was successfully opened! The cool fresh air rushed in, which made them a little confused.
Tang Xinjue and Zheng Wanqing walked out first, followed by Guo Guo and Zhang You. When they landed on the balcony, they suddenly felt like they had walked out of the dormitory for the first time since the game began.
"Look up! There is light in the fog!"
Following the roommate's reminder, several people looked up and vaguely saw a row of red words in the depths of the white fog:
[Countdown to the gift from heaven: 1:59]
1:59, 1:58, 1:57…
Time flies by in seconds.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise from the right, accompanied by footsteps and conversations, which instantly diverted the attention of the four people.
——It’s the dormitory next door!
Before the game came , the balcony in their dormitory area was shared by two dormitories, and it didn't change after the game came. It was just that they hadn't been in touch with the outside world for too long, and their attention was attracted by the game notifications, so when they came out just now, they didn't look at the next door at the first time.
Now that the balcony is accessible, does it also mean that they can communicate with the dormitory next door?
Guo Guo blurted out: "Are Yang Yan and the others still here?"
She called out the name of her classmate next to her in surprise: "Yang Mingyan! Hou Cenyue! Can you hear me?"
The next moment, the floor-to-ceiling window of the neighboring dormitory was opened, and several girls walked out cautiously.
The moment they saw each other, they were both startled at the same time and said in amazement:
"Who are you?"
